OpenAI releases the next-generation artificial intelligence model GPT-5

Recently, OpenAI launched the next-generation flagship artificial intelligence model GPT-5. This is the company's first "integrated" AI system that combines the reasoning capabilities of o series models with the rapid response capabilities of the GPT series models.

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman highly praised GPT-5, calling it "the best model in the world" and a "significant upgrade" compared to previous models. He stated that the release of GPT-5 marks an important step for the company in achieving general artificial intelligence (AGI).

GPT-5 has performed excellently in multiple benchmark tests, especially reaching cutting-edge levels in programming, mathematics, health, and other fields. In the SWE-bench Verified code test, GPT-5 achieved an accuracy rate of 74.9%. At the same time, the hallucination problem of the new model has been significantly improved, with an error information rate of only 4.8%, far lower than that of previous models.

From the date of its release, GPT-5 is available for all ChatGPT users, including free users and various paid users. Different user groups have different usage limits, with Pro users able to use it unlimitedly and receive the enhanced version GPT-5 Pro.

Three Major Advantages of GPT-5

GPT-5 has achieved significant improvements in three key areas: programming, creative writing, and health consulting.

In terms of programming, GPT-5 is considered OpenAI's most powerful coding model to date, capable of creating aesthetically pleasing responsive websites, applications, and games from just a prompt. It excels in complex front-end generation and debugging large codebases.

In terms of creative writing, GPT-5 is capable of handling structurally complex writing tasks, such as unrhymed iambic pentameter or naturally flowing free verse. OpenAI's Vice President of ChatGPT Business stated that GPT-5 shows "better taste" in creative tasks, with responses being more natural.

In the field of health consulting, GPT-5 can more actively identify potential health issues and assist users in interpreting medical results. In the HealthBench Hard Hallucinations test, GPT-5's error rate for misinformation was only 1.6%, significantly lower than that of its predecessor.

Enhancements in Security and Usability

OpenAI emphasizes that GPT-5 is more reliable and practical compared to previous models, capable of answering real-world questions more accurately, with a significantly reduced likelihood of hallucinations. After enabling web search, the probability of GPT-5 responses containing factual errors is approximately 45% lower than that of previous models.

To further enhance security, OpenAI has introduced a new security training form called "Safe Completion" for GPT-5. This approach can better guide dual-use issues, improve robustness against ambiguous intents, and reduce unnecessary excessive refusals.

New Feature: Chat Preset Personalities

OpenAI has also launched a research preview version of four preset personalities for ChatGPT users, including Cynic, Robot, Listener, and Nerd. Users can adjust these personality options at any time in the settings to match their communication style. These new personalities are initially available for text chat and will later expand to voice chat.

Industry Impact and Applications

The release of GPT-5 immediately sparked widespread attention in the tech industry. A certain tech giant announced that it would integrate GPT-5 into its extensive product portfolio, including several collaboration platforms and development tools. This will allow enterprise and consumer users to immediately experience the advanced reasoning capabilities and programming advantages of GPT-5.

In terms of enterprise applications, GPT-5 will help users better tackle complex issues, maintain focus during long conversations, and understand context. Consumers can experience the new features of GPT-5 for free across multiple platforms.

The developer community will also benefit from GPT-5, which will provide strong support for coding, testing, and deployment. Cloud service providers also plan to offer all GPT-5 models on their AI platforms, equipped with AI-driven model routers to optimize task processing.

Overall, the launch of GPT-5 marks another significant advancement in AI technology, promising new application possibilities and efficiency improvements across various industries.
